title: Sensing gases with carbon nanotubes: a review of the actual situation.
abstract: Here we review the possible application of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as chemiresistor and field-effect transistor chemical sensors. The endeavor of this paper is to understand the key facts emerging from the literature that seem to demonstrate the high sensitivity of CNTs to several molecular species, with the effort to catch the results in a correct manner.
